[QUOTE="Olive, post: 1476356, member: 1297"] Sorry to bump an old thread, but this is a misunderstanding of how the extraplanar subtype works. The ranger's perspective is irrelevant. What matters is where the ranger and the githyanki are. On the prime, a githyanki is extraplanar (as he's from the astral) and the ranger is not. On the astral the githyanki [B]is not[/B] extraplanar. He is on his home plane. He can't be dissmissed or banished etc. However, the ranger is still not extraplanar. She's away from her home plane, but she's on the astral, and, as the quote below says transitive planes don't get the extraplanar subtype. If the ranger was fighting githzerai on Limbo she [B]would be[/B] extraplanar, as would be her companions. Not only couls they be dismissed/banished etc., but if the ranger suddenly decided to attack her companions, and the DM had allowed the ranger to take [I]favored enemy: humanoid (extraplanar)[/I], then the elven bard or the dwarf barbarian or the human rogue would all be humanoids with the extraplanar subtype. Just because they were all from the same plane makes no difference to this subtype, just as it makes no difference where the githzerai are from. A third situation would be if the ranger was now fighting a group of slaadi on Ysgard as they raced each other to reclaim the [I]Mystical Doodad of Hacon-Sa[/I]. In this case EVERYONE would be extraplanar... slaadi and the PCs. The favored enemy thing would only work against party members of course because slaadi are outsiders, not humanoids, but it might work against the guardian of the [I]Mystic Doodad[/I], Jim. Jim's a human born on Ysgard. He's never been to the prime, but both his parents were from there. Basically, the thing to remember is that, in the immortal words of Eric B and Rakim "it's not where your from, it's where you're at". Make sense? [/QUOTE]
